Programming

Rust has seen increasing adoption by both big tech companies and startups in recent years. In this blog post, we will examine 12 prominent business applications of Rust in the real world, from Disney to the Falcon 9 launch. Back in 2020, we wrote about the major market players which used Rust in their projects, including Dropbox, Coursera, Figma, Microsoft, and others. Since then, this programming language has gained more popularity, so it’s time to explore more success stories.

In our previous post, we covered the major tech conferences of the first half of 2024. In this post, we have put together the most interesting IT conferences and events happening from July to December this year. For your convenience, we have divided them into several sections, with events appearing in chronological order within each section.

In our Haskell in Production series, we interview developers and technical leaders from companies that use Haskell for real-world tasks. We cover benefits, downsides, common pitfalls, and tips for building useful Haskell products. Today's guest is Marc Scholten, the Founder and CEO of digitally induced. In this interview, we discuss their product, textcontent.ai. It is a text-generating tool that helps marketers create a distinct style and tone of voice. Marc explained how it differs from other options on the market and how they use Haskell in their product.

No project can be a success without good management, and software projects are no different. Stats reveal that in the IT realm, only 39% of projects are successful. 43% are challenged, and 18% are failing. This is what happens when you start a project without proper planning and management strategies in place. Today, we are going to run you through what software development project management is, why it is so important, and what the process looks like from the inside.

Modern cloud native computing heavily relies on the use of containers and the adoption of Kubernetes. Despite being a relatively new technology, it is deployed by many global enterprises to manage business-critical applications in their production environments. The popularity of Kubernetes is driven by a growing range of features, such as enhanced security, better management of microservices, improved observability, and more efficient scaling and resource use.

At Serokell, we have a dedicated team working on GHC. The primary goal is to help add dependent types to Haskell, as outlined in GHC proposal #378, Design for Dependent Types..
